Summer distractions is the WORD! My blog site would be a lot further along but I got it going just in the nick of time for gardening season! Guess what I do? A lot of gardening! Plus all of the other outdoor activities. But just think of the stories I’ll have to tell when all is said and done and the rain returns to the Great Northwest. Have fun everyone!

Krista, you (and your small friend with his paws close to your keyboard) are a RIPPER ! – Simple Provisions is not only Australian, but excellent, and also the only other person I’ve found so far to be using ‘MY’ theme ! [grin]
Many thanks !!!

Sadly, I’m never bored these last number of years. I long for the days when I could get lost in a book and will look forward to this being the case again if I can ever get away from my computer. I’m addicted!

Ooh! Just took a quick browse through The Savvy Reader and I’m really enjoying it! Immediately followed and will try to tackle reading some of the books they recommend after I finish reading all five Game of Thrones books.
